Dukes vs Maccabi @ Nagle Park, Kick Off 3:15

The Dukes take on Maccabi in their round 4 clash of the 2014 Meldrum Cup.

It’s been a slow, but great start to the season for the Dukes with 3 first up wins in the Meldrum Cup over Burraneer, St George and Sydney Grammar Old Boys.

The Halligan cup camapign hit a few big waves against the Mosman Whales last weekend after having 2 good wins in the first 2 matches. The Dukes sit equal 3rd after 3 rounds.

This week there will not be a Halligan match due to a high number of injuries as well as commitments outside of rugby. Apologies to all who were looking for a game this weekend, but will miss out, but next week when we take on The Vales we hope to get back on the Halligan Crusade for World Rugby Domination.

The Dukes sit on top of the Meldrum Cup Southern Conference as one of only 3 teams undefeated across both conferences.

This week in the Meldrum Cup the Dukes take on Maccabi. Expectations are for a hard hit out and our biggest challenge of the season against a side who has only had the one loss to Clovelly and has only just come down from Division 5.
